slow length along. Nonews whatever reached
the town from outside, but that did not
trouble the inhabitants very much, as they
were sure that Colley was advancing to their

took place, but as the results attained were

MORROW ALL HIGHT.

Already the weakness q Gre
prosecution in the Morrow case is
ainfully apparent. The Witnesses
who few months ago were talking
so loudly against Morrow, have
been squared" and now they
all refuse to testify, on the grounds
that their answers will criminate
them. Morrow is all right now.
Those witnesses who are in court
are fixed, and the others have
skipped out.
All this is due to the shameful
inactivity of Major Stonehill, the
District Attorney, who has never
lifted a finger in the case. Nevada
has every reason to be ashamed OF
him.

your Kaskine and procured for me a
bottle. After my return home took
the pellets as directed and found much
relief afforded thereby. Ofthis change
l wrote Mr.. Barker, who sent two or
three bottles during the past year. My
health greatly improved. l increased
in weight from I65 pounds to 200

the Kaskine did it. Quinine had fail

A sIOTnER,s DUTY.


very plain open letter from John
Taylor OF Virginia City. A good
many other letters have been re-
ceived ut this Office in response to
the editorial published few days |
ago relative tc the depravity of men
who made licentious prey of child
rem. Some of these were from
mothers bidding the APPEAL to go |
on and expose these men, and
some were from anonymous sources,
threatening the publisher of the
APPEAL with all sorts Of direful con-
sequences if the matter were not
Immediately dropped. They come
of course from parties whose guilt
might be exposed If the matter
were agitated. We consider these
threats and the authors beneath
notice or contempt.
Our Virginia City correspondent,
while agreeing with the APPEAL, is
disposed to lay good deal of the
blame on the shoulders OF the girls
and their parents.
A young girl who takes the down
wand path is more to be pitied than
blamed. The blame lies almost
wholly with the mother who is
careless of the welfare of her child
rem. The training which a child
gets from its mother does more to
shape its future course than any
thing else, and here is where the
hearthstone takes precedence of the
school house. The mother who has
the welfare of her daughter at heart
will always know where that
daughter IS after dark.
The Virginia City correspondent
strikes hard when he tells of child
rem paradlng the streets OF Carson
gaudily and extensively dressed.
whose parents are absolutely poor.
One mentally figures out the propo-
sition that mother poor, and
whose children out-dress the child
rem of the well-to-do, must know
where her daughters expensive
clothes come from. She either must
be very green or ignorant, or quietly
acquiesces in the arrangement.
The editor of the APPEAL was
well aware that many people would
Indignantly deny the statements he
made, of course. Whenever the
fact is announced that pleuro- pneu-
monia has broken out among cattle
of a certain section, almost every
cattle owner Indignantly denies it.
They seek to stamp out the disease
by denying its existence, but it
spreads ever the country just the
same, and this foolish covering up
of the facts results in heavy losses,
which might have been averted by
the full facts having been known.
Are not children better worth the
saving than the beasts of the field?
There is not a grown man in the
city OF Carson who does not know
that the evils pointed out by the
APPEAL exist, and no sane man will
hold that there is anything to be
gained by smothering the facts.
Ii mothers who have read these
articles will be warned by them,
and the future of one child saved
thereby from pollution, they viii
not have been written in vain. If
the mothers of these jeopardized
children will foolisnly listen to the
assertions of those who are trying
to convey the idea that it is "only
a newspaper sensation" it can at
least never be charged that this
journal having a public duty to
perform, shrank from the perform
ance of it.

he asserts that his obstructive course
in regard to the tariff is sin harmony

jackson in his message to Congress in
1892 earnestly recommended gradu-

standard. In alluding to the discon-
tent created by the high tariff of that
period President Jackson added that
the people could not be expected to

manufacturers whe.. revenue was not
required for the administration of the
government This was the Democratic
tariff doctrine fifty years ago, and it is
the Democratic doctrine now The
tariff which Andrew Jackson propos

and which was so reduced, was a
measure of mildness and moderation
compared with the monopoly breeding
monster of which Randall is one OF

SCIENTIFIC CORRESPONDING.
The stWfid-Western Way'' Gives Our
Southern Towns Il Valuable Hint.

Southern Towns il Valuable Hint.
Wichita, Kansas, is noted far and
wide for its wonderful progress, sur
passing in some respects tie marvellous
growth of Birmingham. The secret
OF this progress is told by Wichita
business man in the following words ::
we organized. We held almost
nightly meetings, and among the first
thing we agreed upon was to hang to-
gether and stay by each other through
thick and thin.
We advertised by hundreds of thou
sands of circulars. We set forth all
our advantages in such manner that
strangers who were led by our circu-
lars to give US call were not deceiv-
ed, but, on the contrary, agreed that
We had not put it as strong as we
might.
Every town in the East Of notoriety
was not only served with our circulars
but our newspapers.
And the newspaper advertising did
double duty. Our people made it a
rule to ask all their friends to adver-
tise.
We then subscribed for large
number of copies, loaded with local
advertising and great advantages, and
we found by conversing with parties
who finally came here prospecting
that the full advertising columns of
our papers which they had seen did
more than all else to impress them
with the growth and Importance of
the place.
We found then We could not overdo
this thing-that the more we paid out
for these purposes the more were our
profits. Every new conner was Gus
toner to most of our stores, and while
their advertising paid to them rich
returns, it served the double purpose
to impress the Eastern man who had
an eye to business with the fact that
Wichita was rising town, and thus
we have gone on until we have added
population since | came here of over
10000 and property has increased in
business places more than thousand
fold, and in the country round about
us the appreciation has been over 400
per cent.

that printers ink is the best capital to
boom ii town. Had we not used it
unsparingly Wichita would not have
been larger than Carthage. As it is

couragement of all our domestic man

pete successfullyin the markets of the
world with foreign productions i am
opposed, therefore, to any legislation
| which will destroy, or seriously Grip
pie, any American interest. Of course
I should not refuse, but favor, legisla
ton conceived and executed in such a
spirit of concession as would bring
about schedule of tariff duties which
would reduce taxation to the lowest
figures required for an economical ad
ministration Of the government, but
at the same time in the laying of these
duties would insist that wherever it
is necessary and within the proper
purview of the law itself, to see to the
securing of the fullest encouragement
and incidental protection to our in
dustrial interests, it should be done,
no matter in what part of the Union
they may be located. This course of
action is in harmony with Democrat
ic history and it is likewise prompted
by due regard to the advancement
of our interests as we'll as an APP
proach to the destiny of our. country.
We would be worse than heathens
not to take care of our own.
1t is mere assumption that some
men act from what they call 'princi-
ple'' and others do not. The loudest
shouters for free trade have been
found, when it came to the consider
alton of the details of a tariff bill, vot-
ing persistingly for the largest pro-
tective duties upon the most ridicul-
ously small productive interests of
their districts. The truth is that all
men are alike in these respects, and
home matters being better understood
are less ignored, and being better un
derstood, the representative yields
prompt submission to what he believes
to be just and right towards his con-
stituents. Very truly yours
